NOTES
In them, he delves more deeply into the subject of the war and its meaning for America-addressing such issues as the psychology of the citizen soldier, the presidential career of Ulysses S. Grant, and what happens to civil liberties in wartime. He explores how the war compelled the nation to confront questions about race and democracy, and places the conflict in a wider context, identifying it as the world's first truly modern war
